Paul George on Thunder woes: 'We are frustrated... We're better than this'

The Thunder entered the season considered by many to be the second best team in the Western Conference.

Through the season’s first 19 games, though, they’ve really just reminded us as to why the game isn’t played on paper.

With the team getting pummeled by the lowly Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, it was considered the low point of the season for many on the team. Starters were benched, and out of desperation, Billy Donovan resorted to some funky lineups.

The Thunder won’t play again until Wednesday night when they travel to Orlando to do battle with the Magic, so with three full days off between games, the team will try to figure a few things out.

One thing that we do already know, though, is that Paul George is frustrated.

“We wanna be positive because it doesn’t help anyone if we’re all angry,” George said after Saturday’s 97-81 loss in Dallas.

“But absolutely we should be frustrated and we are frustrated, in terms of we’re better than this,” he said.

“To lose back-to-back, to lose down 25, 30 almost at one point in the game, yea we should be very frustrated about that.”

George probably had more reason to be frustrated than anyone else, as he put forth his worst effort of the season. Although he did have 10 assists, the All-Star shot just 1-for-12 from the field and ended the game with just two points. The one field goal and two points, unsurprisingly, were both season lows.

Unfortunately for him, as well as the rest of the team, they’ll have to wait until Wednesday to erase the bad memory of the shellacking they took at the hands of the Mavs.
